There were a lot of those flowers, some nice, some a bit wilted, so I moved the camera around for a couple of minutes before I decided which ones made the nicest grouping.Really like the second one and the randomness of the cluster of colour, nature doing it's thing.
Doubt many humans could achieve that.
I took this one of a Hawthorn Tree back in May. The colours are only around for a week or so, then it just looks like any old tree!There were a lot of those flowers, some nice, some a bit wilted, so I moved the camera around for a couple of minutes before I decided which ones made the nicest grouping.
I think the groupings add something that a shot of a single flower is missing. It's harder though to find a nice group than to find just a single perfect flower.
Those are nice shots.
It seems incredible to think it's been five years since I took this. I can vividly remember being able to stand in our garden at Cinderford at the right time of evening and be able to take these kind of pictures as if it was only yesterday! Obviously there was a little photographic camera trickery necessary, but I always look loved how it could make it seem like the whole sky above the forest was ablaze. It may only have been a Coolpix bridge camera, but I've never been able to get the same textures, atmosphere or drama on any other camera. We definitely shared a special bond where sunset shots were concerned!
Did you use a tripod for those and how long was the exposure, do you know?A few 'light trail' shots that I took this evening outside where I live in Malvern.

Hi Gazolba. Answers to questions.Did you use a tripod for those and how long was the exposure, do you know?
In the bottom photo, there are two little strips of white light in the roadway that were not in the photo above, I wonder what caused them?
There's also one in the top photo that isn't in the second one.
I'm thinking maybe a reflection in the camera lens?
Thanks for the information. I'll have to check if my camera can be set up like that.Hi Gazolba. Answers to questions.
Tripod was used.
(Remote was also used)
f/16
15 second exposure
iso 100
Focal length - 18m
Max aperture - 3.625
I think the important piece of equipment here is the tripod. I bought mine new for 30 quid. It does the job and I'm really happy with it. I used the remote simply to save pressing buttons on the camera and adding unintended camera shake. I really hope we can soon see some of these pics from you soon. Oh, by the way, a mate of mine tried a few shots of Cov at night using the settings I gave him. He shot a sideways view of a light trail. Just something different to maybe have a go at. Here's his picture...……Thanks for the information. I'll have to check if my camera can be set up like that.
After thinking about it, I think those little strips of light must be the street lamp reflecting off something shiny (maybe a mirror or hub-cap?) on a car that passed by. Since the object was small, it only caused a short line, if it was sidelights, the line would have been continuous just like the headlights.
All the footbridges around here have wire fences to prevent idiots throwing things onto passing cars, but I'm sure I can find a good spot somewhere.
These are great! I'm a sucker for pictures of birds and flowers!
It's a great photo DL. It captures the isolation and loneliness of the tin mines. I can only imagine what it must have been like to work in them, especially during a bad storm. The sea can be a cruel place at times, as I found out when I lived on the Isle of Wight. Please put some more up.I took this photo of the Botallack tin mines whilst on holiday in the summer, I'm aware that it doesn't come close to some of the amazing photography on this thread, but for me it just sums up the feel of the place on the day, quite ominous and moody.View attachment 11298
HH, that has just freaked me out, I have never noticed that. The strange thing is, It's about a 300ft sheer cliff to get down to that position, I have no idea how that person could even get to that point and I never noticed them on the day?DL, if you zoom in and look closely, there's someone fishing by the looks of it. He's standing right on the edge of the rocks at about "8 O'clock" from the lower tin mine...……….

I'm a bugger for little details! LOL!HH, that has just freaked me out, I have never noticed that. The strange thing is, It's about a 300ft sheer cliff to get down to that position, I have no idea how that person could even get to that point and I never noticed them on the day?
Either the ghost of a former tin miner or a mermaid resting on the rocks.DL, if you zoom in and look closely, there's someone fishing by the looks of it. He's standing right on the edge of the rocks at about "8 O'clock" from the lower tin mine...……….

Since there is no caption to this photo, here's my theory ...
Waterfalls are great for a long exposure and a soft light effect. The falling water will look so different. Here's a few I found on the net. (Sadly, not mine!)
Oh, and where exactly is that waterfall?
